We are reaching out to the participants of the World Veterinary Congress(WVC), by World Veterinary Association(WVA), to help put an end to the dog meat trade in South Korea. The 33rd WVC is being held from August 27 to 31 this year in South Korea, a country which still farms and eats dogs. 2.5 million dogs are slaughtered each year and consumed. Host City Incheon is one of the highest dog meat consumption area in Korea. This year the World Veterinary Congress is promoting the concept of “One Health, an emerging concept that encompasses the health of humans, animals and their environment across the globe” The center of the Congress symbol shows a silhouette of a human surrounded by animals and clouds that … delivers a message that veterinarians co-exist with animals, with a theme of One Health, “The health of humans, animals and ecosystems are all interconnected.” We are asking the participants of the WVC 2017 to help bring awareness and a solution to this problem. As medical professionals they can make a difference with their support.
